Some people make boats, some people twittle their thumbs. Cousin John (that's cousin John being hugged by Judy, his wife of 48 years) "plays" with wood (and probably Judy from the looks of it) in his spare time. His latest project - the beautiful bar that Butch, Frank & John seem to have taken over. He made it from wood from their property plus a little black walnut from a friend's property. Laminated together are black walnut, butternut, maple, hictory, white ash, yellow birch, red oak, beech, cherry, then curved into a semi-circle and also curved from the floor to the bar. Of course, if you have a bar one has to have bar stools, also laminated, also curved, with swivel seats made of a piece of black walnut crotch wood (I'm given to understand that's choice wood) and legs of red oak and black walnut.
John's next project is already in the works. Stay turned...
